International Humanitarian Law – also known as the law of armed conflicts or law of war, is, by its definitions, a set of rules which seeks to limit the effects of the armed conflicts by protecting the persons who are not or are no longer participating in the hostilities and by restricting the means and methods of warfare.
International Law of Human Rights lays down obligations, which States are bound to respect. By becoming parties to international treaties, States assume obligations and duties under international law to respect, to protect and to fulfil human rights. The obligation to respect means that States must refrain from interfering with or curtailing the enjoyment of human rights, the obligation to protect requires States to protect individuals and groups against human rights abuses and the obligation to fulfil means that States must take positive action to facilitate the enjoyment of basic human rights.

International Humanitarian Law and International Law of Human Rights both form a major part of the body of Public International Law. Furthermore, International Humanitarian Law and International Law of Human rights are complementary. Both strive to protect the lives, health and dignity of individuals, albeit from a different angle. Humanitarian law applies in situations of armed conflict, whereas human rights protect the individual at all times, both in war and peace. Humanitarian law aims to protect people who do not or are no longer taking part in hostilities and its rules impose duties on all parties to a conflict. Human rights, being tailored primarily for peacetime, apply to everyone. Their principal goal is to protect individuals from arbitrary behavior by their own governments.
The duty to implement humanitarian law and human rights lies first and foremost with States. Humanitarian law obliges States to take practical and legal measures, such as enacting penal legislation and disseminating it. Similarly, States are bound by human rights law to accord national law with international obligations.
